30 years ago, Shining Force on the SEGA Genesis set the bar for me. Deep systems, clean pacing, real tactical weight. It made me a lifelong strategy RPG fan.
Plenty of good games followed. Persona included. None of them ever felt like Shining Force.
Until Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga.
This is the closest thing to a modern Shining Force. It is not a grind-first RPG. Positioning matters. Formation matters. You decide whether to press forward or bait the enemy into a bad engagement. The map actually matters.
The art style lands exactly where it should. Clearly 16-bit inspired, but far more detailed. Strong character portraits. Strong battlefield readability. The music does its job without getting in the way.
It runs flawlessly on the Steam Deck. Low overhead. Long battery life. Perfect for short sessions in a coffee shop or long stretches on the couch. It feels designed for handheld play, even if it was not.
A genuinely great strategy RPG. One of the best in the genre. -

L’Italia ago della bilancia sul Mercosur. Macron: “Meloni d’accordo, non siamo pronti”

A von der Leyen serve il sì dei capi di stato e di governo per volare in Brasile e chiudere definitivamente l'accordo. Via libera al regolamento sulle salvaguardie per gli agricoltori, ma Macron continua a chiudere. Tajani: "Un passo avanti, ma non so se è sufficiente"

My question is not "does a deity exist".
My question is
Is it possible that a deity *could* exist.
What is the agnostic answer to that?

Ma quale delle tante Guinee? C'è quella Equatoriale, la Bissau, la Papua Nuova Guinea e la Guinea (e basta). L'ultima che ho scritto. Così la #Cina si pappa il ferro della #Guinea - Startmag https://www.startmag.it/mondo/guinea-miniera-simandou-cina/

@lappenjammer apparently «I see London, I see France, I can see your underpands» is a children's rhyme or something like that.

@etam @noybeu that's why I pointed out it is most probably possible on other Android phones as well
Anyway, I am running it fine on a Pixel 6a which I believe is very affordable as a used device.
